Are you speaking to me?
What was the question again?
Oh yeah..
The goal has not been reached yet, so no, i don't want to leave this one half-assed like the last one.
There is one objective, remove the current regime from power, in my opinion, this needs to be done now at any cost, including US caualties.
If we pulled out now, every life lost would be in vain, and we have let that happen too many times already.
It's a war, people die.
You don't like war, i respect that, i don't either, but, i see it as necessary.
That answer the qestion?

1. Kinda- co-worker, good guy, we hang out when he is in town and he and his girl have stayed at my place. We don't go way back or anything like that.
2. Independent
3. No, but this warrants an explanation - 75 billion bucks would save lot more lives feeding the starving...do you know how many people die from malnutrition and preventable illnesses each year? A lot more than a couple thousand which is the most Saddam could ever take out in one strike and in that case I would support immediate and decisive action. So, I would support it if/when 1) Saddam attacks the US or one of our allies 2) we have UN support. I worry that we acted too soon...is a couple of weeks or even months to allow inspections to work so critical that we should risk the long-term consequences of alienating ourselves from a broad section of the international community? The rest of the world ain't going away boys and it seems like we acted a bit like my college roommate did when he started taking roids...
4. 100%
5. At this point we need to finish the job, I think we could have done it much more diplomatically but IMO we are a society of knee-jerk reactions.
When NASA first started sending up astronauts, they quickly discovered that ball-point pens would not work in 0 gravity. To combat this problem, NASA scientists spent a decade and $12 billion developing a pen that writes in zero gravity, upside down, underwater, on almost any surface including glass and at temperatures ranging from below freezing to over 300 C.
The Russians used a pencil.
